Do you know where this is?

This 1964 photo of a Worcester hill neighborhood contains all the usual elements: Markets and restaurants, dry cleaners and drugstores, three-decker housing, a war monument ... and traffic.

That busy traffic would make the pedestrian route from one side of the street to the other to get the daily bread a dangerous trip, but for many years, in the city and outside it, thousands made their way to local family supermarkets named Iandoli's.

The chain began as a small grocery store started by an Italian immigrant family that settled in Worcester, and grew to the familiar — and profitable — chain that was purchased by the Shaw's chain in the late 1980s.

That purchase ended with the closing of some of the supermarkets Iandoli's inhabited, but by that era, this store at a busy intersection had made way for a parking lot and a smaller strip mall set a little farther back from the traffic.

In the center of the intersection was one of Worcester's many monuments, this one to a fallen hero from the battle of Meuse-Argonne in France during World War I.

The three- and four-story housing units were created to house Worcester's burgeoning immigrant and blue-collar population at a time when Worcester was a center of commerce for everything from machine tools to wire to paper.

The four-story homes included commercial space on the street level, and above, spacious family housing.

Hint: The intersection in this photo is called a square, but the traffic pattern is anything but.
